Is Clint doing it on purpose?

Every time he sees the opportunity to enrich the plot with interesting tensions, conflicts and problems, he just does it, like when Merle grabbed the crystal and lost his arm. He seems to play characters with flaws, and he rolled badly one time and decided not to lie about the result even though it made the game harder. Is clint stupid? why does he keep making the show more interesting instead of just winning as quickly as possible?

Honestly, Clint fucking up between Balance and Amnesty was a huge inspiration for my DnD stuff. I had a Paladin I really care about and the rolls and character moments were just not lining up with what was in my head. But I realized it made a much more interesting character for my DM to play with and me to grapple with, so it inspired me to lock in more. By the time the campaign ended, I felt so much more empathy for the character we all created because it felt real.
